Offering successful adult and outreach programs can be hard to do. With many libraries reporting struggles with adult program attendance, it is even less comforting to know “what worked before” might not be working now or next month. Join Kathy Pape in this informative webinar.

Offering successful adult and outreach programs can be hard to do. With many libraries reporting struggles with adult program attendance, it is even less comforting to know “what worked before” might not be working now or next month.

With some many “adult” age groups to serve, how does a library engage adults and pull them into the library for programs and activities that go beyond the circ desk check-out?

In this interactive and informative webinar program, participants will learn:

·Methods to determine the interest of your adult patrons

·Identify potential partners for programming

·Create engaging programs that are not one-dimensional

·Understanding the changing needs of aging library users

·Best practices presented in real life scenarios that make sense
